Hanging Houses (Vertical) Photo

Photographer’s Note

By pixelterror’s advice I post the same picture in vertical frame.
I know that the cliff is a very important motif here but personally I prefer the horizontal one.
I worked in Photoshop to reduce the banding present in the sky.

The hanging houses, located in a dominant position in the Huercar Valley, are one of the main tourist elements of the city. One of these hanging houses hosts the Museum of Abstract Art.

as far as I remember, this was an excellent restaurant,but not possible to eat on balcony; the wine was great, the roasted baby lamb super, and the bill too!! :)
I remember also, the long metallic bridge, to go back to Parador hotel, I was a bit drunk, and I have vertigo, such a big trip to go sleeping.
nice shot,very sharp, and splendid colors! thanks for souvenirs. the name of the city is Cuenca??

Hola Oscar
Me gusta el formato vertical que enseña la altura de los acantilados. Impressiona. Tuvistes suerto con el sol y las nubes negras o saturadas. Excellent los detalles.
Saludos Nikki

Bonjour Oscar
Cet endroit est vraiment étonnant et le cadrage vertical renforce l'effet d'altitude. TRes belle lumire. C'est tres réussi.
AMicalement
Bertrand

Hola Óscar.
No muy diferente de la anterior y con un cielo mejor trabajado (sigue notándose un poco, pero mejor).
Igualmente yo también prefiero el formato horizontal.

Hi Oscar,
Both are working fine, here we see the rock more come out, that's a plus.
But now i see a lot of editing edges around the buildings where you edited the sky.
Nevertheless, i prefer this one above the horizontal.
Very strong composition...well taken..!!!
Regards, Henk

HOla Oscar
Es un lugar al que queria ir cuando vivi en madrid 4 meses pero desgraciadamente no tuve tiempo de ir. Una hermosa vista sobretodo por el cielo tormentoso.
Saludos

Hi Oscar,

a funky place to be honest...it kind of remind me of Ronda situated in the different part of the country...the balconies are of my taste, wooden and hanging over a cliff/gorge...this vertical frame works really well...some mentioned the sky editing...i also think it does not look too good with those almost fluid like edges...but i enjoyed this image anyway...cheers, arturo
